Cang Song! Wake up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Song slowly regained his senses and muttered hoarsely, \"Headmaster... that god... is real!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone instantly understood—Cang Song had witnessed the true form of the Eternal God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took him a long while to finally stand up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shuiyue immediately asked, \"Is the Eternal God... powerful?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Powerful?\" Cang Song shook his head, his expression hollow. \"That’s not something you can describe with ’powerful’. In that god’s eyes, our entire world is just... a toy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the room drew in a sharp breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A toy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An entire world... just a plaything to a god?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Song didn’t dare elaborate further—it would only cause greater panic. Instead, he turned toward Daoxuan and warned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother... we need to prepare a sacrifice. If not, a catastrophe will come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sacrifice... but what can we even offer to a god?\" Daoxuan frowned deeply. \"The altar is easy to arrange. But the offering itself...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was what truly troubled Daoxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t just offer livestock or ceremonial incense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were pure, beautiful women among them... but Shuiyue would never allow it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She treated Xueqi like her own daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they sacrificed her, Shuiyue would lose her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Cang Song pointed outside and said, \"You’re forgetting something. Don’t we already have a suitable offering?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone followed his finger, and their expressions turned strange...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That direction...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a child there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sacred child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit Qilin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daoxuan gritted his teeth. Cang Song’s mind really was sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course,\" Cang Song added dryly, \"we could always pretend none of this happened. But just think for a moment—what will the wrath of a god bring? Doomsday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and left, still visibly shaken, and flew away into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daoxuan looked over at Shuiyue. Her eyes avoided his, but he could tell she was thinking about Xueqi too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one wanted to say it aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the question returned once again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should they do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sacrifice one person... or risk the destruction of the world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daoxuan fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Tian Buyi subtly gestured to Zhang Fan and Su Ru. The three quietly left the hall and flew back toward the training grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the other first-seated elders also dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every time there’s a crisis, it falls on my shoulders...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daoxuan rubbed his temples, inwardly groaning. \"This is a headache.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, Shuiyue had clearly shown she wasn’t willing to offer Xueqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But aside from her... none of the other young female disciples could compare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They simply had no one suitable to offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And presenting an unworthy sacrifice would only be seen as insincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could a god accept a half-hearted offering?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially a god of that magnitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the tournament officially ended, most disciples had returned to their own mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaozhufeng was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xueqi saw her master return, she immediately went over to greet her. But Shuiyue didn’t speak. She only looked at her oddly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, is something wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though cold to strangers, Xueqi was warm-hearted and loyal to those close to her. She was a good girl who valued emotional bonds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shuiyue shook her head and muttered something strange:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll protect you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned and walked straight into her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xueqi stood frozen, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Protect me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it because she lost the match?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Master now think less of her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her delicate brows furrowed in concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling. Something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to find out what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the world of the White Snake...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his humiliation, Fahai had not been the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s so wrong with being a monk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six roots purified. Detached from desire. Uninterested in worldly conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did the world hate monks so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he returned to Jinshan Temple, a radiant light descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A manifestation of Guanyin Bodhisattva had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the benevolent, reserved form of the Bodhisattva, Fahai immediately knelt and offered his reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amitabha... I greet Guanyin Bodhisattva.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rise, Fahai,\" she said gently. \"I have come to tell you—your destiny is approaching.

But... recently, there’s been something that’s troubled me deeply.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guanyin frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of problem could this devout disciple possibly have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it regarding the Dharma?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on,\" she said. \"Let me hear it. Perhaps I can help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fahai hesitated, then spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lately, I’ve been plagued by strange voices.
